About this experience
Now using a radio transmitter and receiver so you won’t miss any of this amazing story. Numbers are strictly limited so you will not be following 35 or 40 people. We start the adventure at Whitechapel Station because that's where Jack the Ripper started. With the help of the FBI Special Agent John Douglas's 1988 profile of Jack the Ripper and Scotland Yard's 2008 geographical profile you will explore the Jack the Ripper mystery from his first unsolved murder in Buck's Row to his last in Dorset Street. You will discover the victims' story. Who they were. Why they were targeted. How they were killed so swiftly and silently. It's a truly fascinating story that goes beyond the cliche of the toff in his top hat and opera cape seeking his next victim among the raddled fourpenny whores of Whitechapel. Blanketed by fog, London was 'The Big Smoke' home to a silent and invisible serial killer we call Jack the Ripper. Join me.

What you'll see and do
Whitechapel Road
We start in Whitechapel Road opposite the London Hospital where Emma Elizabeth Smith the first victim of the Whitechapel Murders died after she was brutally attacked on April 3rd 1888.
10 minutes here
Whitechapel
We will visit Buck's Row, Whitechapel for a crime scene investigation of when, where and how Jack the Ripper committed his first murder. And learn about Polly Nichols and just how she became Jack the Ripper's first victim. And right here discover our first suspect.
20 minutes here
Brick Lane is of course the curry capital of Great Britain but this is also the eastern boundary of where all five victims lived at the the time of the murders. Thrawl Street which ran from Brick Lane to Commercial Street where Polly Nichols stayed at Wilmott's Lodging House. And Flower and Dean Street where the third and fourth victims lived and also where Scotland Yard believe Jack the Ripper was living. And a stone's throw from Brick Lane is where Annie Chapman, the second victim, was found murdered. More CSI and a second suspect who fits both a Scotland Yard geographical profile and also a profile created by the FBI.
20 minutes here
Christ Church Spitalfields
The magnificent example of Nicholas Hawksmoor's work. Christchurch Spitalfields which stands right opposite the famous, or should that be infamous, Ten Bells Pub. A pub that gets its name from the church that stands across the road from it. A pub that the victims drank in.
15 minutes here · Admission not included
Old Spitalfields Market
Where the American writer, Jack London, witnessed some of the appalling examples of abject poverty common in Victorian London. Old Spitalfields Market a centre of the community for centuries.
15 minutes here
Spitalfields
This is where the worst street in London stood. And where the second victim, Annie Chapman was living up to the night she was murdered. It's also where Mary Kelly lived and was murdered. She was a very different kind of victim and she brings with her a third convincing suspect.

Wonderful Experience! I learned so much!
I work in true crime in the US and thought I knew a lot about the case of Jack the Ripper, but I learned so much more information on this tour! It was creepy and fascinating to see the actual locations where the crimes occurred. Richard took us a different route than most other tour groups were on, so we beat the crowds and actually ended up seeing more than we would going the typical routes that the larger tours took. The smaller group setting allowed us to ask more questions and interact with Richard during the tour. His knowledge about each victim and location was impressive and he presented his theories along with some of the other popular theories about what really happened. I thoroughly enjoyed this experience and I'm excited to recommend it to others traveling through London who also enjoy true crime!

A great experience for anyone with even a passing interest in Ripper lore
Richard's walk is well thought out, informative, and fun. He thinks through the little logistical things (like ear pieces for everyone so that he can talk while you walk instead of just at the stops or giving time to enjoy areas that evoke the same vibe as murder sites that are no longer accessible) while delivering a lot of information in an easily understandable talk. We enjoyed it so much we went home and picked up his book for even more Richard!
Response from the operator: Thank you for posting that excellent review. I'm delighted that you enjoyed the tour. Very best wishes Richard

Excellent Jack the Ripper tour
Richard does a great job. He's friendly and very knowledgeable. Good instructions sent on meeting place and time. The tour went very smoothly with the only exception being the blue tooth devices occasionally had interference but he made sure to repeat anything missed. Group size of 15 was good. Great details, lots of information and we ended up with plenty to think about and discuss. I'm glad we went with him.
Response from the operator: An excellent review. I am so pleased that you enjoyed the tour. Many thanks and very best wishes Richard

Excellent!
Excellent, highly knowledgeable guide who clearly loves what he is doing and fascinated by the subject matter. We had a group of 6 ranging in age from 16 - 78 and the tour was enjoyed by all. Be aware this tour lasts just over 2 hours and involves a small amount of walking with often prolonged standing in one location as he discusses the events that took place at that particular spot. Come prepared for weather and the understanding of conditions with the tour.
Response from the operator: Thank for posting that excellent review. I'm delighted that you all enjoyed the tour. Very best wishes Richard

Excellent Tour!
My husband and I went on Richard's Jack the Ripper Tour and found it very interesting. Richard was a wonderful guide and gave a new insight into the history, victims and possible suspects. It was fascinating to see some of the actual locations where these horrific murders took place (although some buildings are no longer there).
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for posting your excellent review. I am delighted that you both enjoyed the tour. Very best wishes Richard

Why this scores 76
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
London - Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for London.
How much does London - Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $30 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in London usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does London - Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in London is not rushed.
Is London - Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 76 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 222 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable culture & history in London, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule London - Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is London - Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book London - Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour?
+
Around 78 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in London can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in London and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does London - Jack the Ripper Small Group Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central London within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in London?
+
London's best attractions split cleanly: the museums are free and need no booking, so the paid market is about views, theatre and getting out of the city for a day. That makes value scoring unusually important here, and the Outty Ranking penalises anything charging premium prices for access you could get for nothing. On Outty we rank every London experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Soho Music & Historic Pubs Tour, London Small Group Tour of Historical Pubs, The Great British Rock and Roll Walking Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit London?
+
May to September for long evenings, December for the Christmas markets. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in London?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
